Braised Short Ribs with Maple Syrup and Soy Sauce Print Recipe Back to Website
Adapted from a Peter Berley recipe for baked beans
by Molly Campbell and Gracie Schatz
The first time I ever ate short ribs, this is how they were cooked. My housemate Molly made them for us on a cold winter night and the sweet, meaty smells wafted through the house. I will never forget this experience and have recreated the recipe many times. If you are new to slow cooking meats, this is a great place to start. You will make some friends for life with this recipe.
